There is a flat and downsloping ST segment in V2 and V3. This could be due to posterior OMI. Is there an old ECG for comparison? Here is the most recent previous ECG: Indeed, there was some normal ST elevation in V2 and V3 , discordant to a relatively deep S-wave which could be due to some LVH.

Percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (PBMV) is a good and preferred therapy choice over surgical commissurotomy for patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS). However, interventional cardiologists must recognize that treating patients with rheumatic MS poses unique challenges for each patient, especially in special populations such as pregnant patients or patients with arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation (AF), which can complicate procedures.

However, in some European countries, LVADs are still underused, with one of the main issues being the patient's late referral. On the contrary, the use of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) has exponentially increased over the past decade, expanding its potential use even in patients on the heart t

Cancer treatment might cause heart failure and deteriorate the patients’ quality of life. Despite the wide use of conventional echocardiography, it often fails to detect cardiotoxicity until advanced cardiac dysfunction at potentially irreversible stages. Advanced techniques, such as three-dimensional imaging and strain analysis in stress echocardiography, have shown promise in identifying cardiotoxicity at subclinical stages, even when traditional measures remain within normal ranges.

Perioperative myocardial injury is a relatively common complication after noncardiac surgery associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is frequently driven by physiologic factors such as hypotension, tachycardia, and anemia. Diagnosis of perioperative myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery is based on elevated cardiac troponin levels, greater than the 99th percentile of the assay's upper reference limit within 30 days of surgery.
